Palestinian Bodies Returned by Israel Show Signs of Torture and Execution, Say Doctors in Gaza
Israel returned 90 Palestinian bodies under a ceasefire, many showing torture and execution signs, while Gaza forensic teams began identification amid ongoing conflict.
- On October 15, 2025, Israel transferred Palestinian victims' bodies to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis via the International Committee of the Red Cross and refrigerated trucks; the bodies arrived blindfolded, bound, and with gunshot wounds to the head.
- Under the US-brokered truce, Israel agreed to return 15 Palestinian bodies for each Israeli casualty, while Hamas returned some remains but at least 19 hostages or remains remain unaccounted.
- Forensic authorities in Gaza began identifying 45 bodies handed over on Wednesday, with morgue workers unloading them from Red Crescent vehicles at the Kissufim crossing, bringing the total to 90.
- Gaza hospitals said Israel provided only numbered tags, and DNA analysis capacity in Gaza is damaged, so hospital staff are asking families of missing men to help identify bodies.
- Despite the ceasefire, attacks continued and Israeli authorities said they would allow only half of the agreed aid trucks, while the International Criminal Court is investigating war crimes including the killing of 15 Palestinian paramedics.

Israel doesn't bother hiding that dead Palestinians were bound, tortured, shot
